lol i have this exactly same problem.... well .... nearly. My front left hand side of my front bumper has never been right since i got the car, so i stripped the front end down to find a dent on the front bar which bolts to the chassis. Hammered this out and resprayed it, bolted the front back together and the next day when i went to open the bonnet.... nothing. Well i can hear clicking and i got a friend to pull the handle while i looked under the car. I can feel the cable moving about. Anyhows. Is this the 2 bolts directly above the radiator which can be accessed through the front badge? Need this sorted lyk, because wen i bolted thecar back together i forgot to plug the lights in again, now i cant get to them to plug them in :S Anyhows ill try this in the morning, its 1am atm.
